Detectives said it is lucky no-one was fatally hurt in the incident and they are appealing for anyone with information to contact them urgently.

“There are families living in that area and a stray bullet could easily have ended up going through a window − I dread to think what could have happened.

“We urgently need to know who pulled the trigger and who was in that vehicle; we need to get these people off the streets. If anyone suspects who might be involved, perhaps they’ve heard something, I’d ask them to get in touch.

“They can call us in confidence, they don’t have to leave their name, or they can call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.
